looking at leaving curaleaf due to lack of choice... prescribed for PTSD

been with curaleaf since the start of my treatment journey (2020), fed up with almost everything I think will be great for my treatment not being on their formulary and strains I'm getting on with being taken off for no apparent reason. I prefer balanced strains and want more options for lower THC strains to try, but given their restrictions it seems that out of the ~20 strains I've written down as seemingly good options for me (terpene profiles, indica leaning, and based on reviews of effects) they only have 2 of them on the formulary FML

So, now I'm looking at changing clinics. I don't use as much cannabis as I used to, so I've put in an order for my full prescription allowance so it will last me a long while, while I look into other clinics and hopefully start the process of changing. I know a few clinics are becoming a bit weird about prescribing for MH, I don't want to waste my time and money booking in for consultations if I'm just going to be denied because I have PTSD - which is what I'm prescribed for lol

If you're prescribed for PTSD and recommend your clinic - what clinic are you with? and are you able to get strains such as Glass Pharms Black Cherry Pie T18 / Gelato 33 T18 / Cherry Vanilla Balanced T10 C11 / Frosted Lime CBD, Lot 420 Apricot & Cheese T11 C16, Therismos Grape Galena T22 / OG Kush T22 / Blue Dream T10 C10 / Hexacan Cookies Cream T16 / Shark Attack T19?

How do you actually use NetGalley??

I log in and there’s just nothing and maybe I’m just inept but I can’t really seem to DO anything on the app? Like I don’t have a profile it seems, idk how to add books or search up authors etc lol
Am I just being an idiot?? 🤣

Whenever I charge Mighty I get this error message. Thinking of upgrading - Mighty+ or Venty?

Charging my mighty has become a pain in the ass due to this error message that’s been happening consistently for about 5 months now… I was thinking of upgrading it anyway to a Mighty+ or a Venty - not sure which one I should go for when I eventually do

electrolytes mixed with some sparkling water

so, I've recently discovered that I feel slightly better / it feels like my electrolytes are more effective when I add a can of sparkling water into my electrolytes!

I'll make like 1L of water with a sachet, drink like 1\4-1\3 of it, then add a 330ml can of flavoured sparkling water. The sparkling water I use has no sweeteners (a lot of sugar free sodas give me headaches, but idk what sweetener it is that causes it for me) and no sugar, its flavoured with 'wonky fruit'

my favourite flavour combination so far is between watermelon electrolyte and cherry water or watermelon electrolyte and lime water!

I got my first Loops and now I’m obsessed

I really wish I had gotten these sooner!! The amount of overwhelm and headache that could’ve been avoided in the past is honestly stupid. Now I’m able to relax in the heatwave while my AC is on as well as the fan and the robot vacuum! Heaven 🙌🏼🧘🏻‍♂️🎊

I have the Switch 2s for everyday wear, I’ve just ordered the Tomorrowland ones because I love the colour of them

Eventually I’ll probably get the Dream ones too for sleeping 🤣

What to do if you get a “I reported your account by accident please contact X to fix it” message

This is a scam. A very common scam. It’s not real. The picture they sent you is fabricated - and it usually contains broken English in the fake ‘email’ they supposedly received about your account being reported.

Report, block and move on!!

Alternatively, send back “alaye” - a Yoruba word that’s used as a codeword amongst Nigerian scammers. I find it interesting to mess with them a lil before dropping that word and they act shocked 🤣 there’s some other phrases you can use if you want too, such as “I am not your maga” (means I’m not your victim) or “okay, yahoo boy” (yahoo boy is a term for someone trying to do online scams / fraud)

I started my bookstagram yesterday!! Would love some new bookish friends 🖤

After much deliberation I finally decided to make a bookstagram! My spooky / horror account was getting a little overrun by my bookish stuff and as I’m a genre-hopper I wanted a separate space for ALL my bookish needs 🙌🏼 very excited about this 😬

u/creepyinkbby — 3 months ago

Spooky readers, unite!

Would love some more bookish friends! I’m a big horror lover but I read across genres 😌 I don’t really have an aesthetic I just post what I like the look of 🤷🏻‍♂️ & I mainly read on my kindle

Sticky dates bath bomb

It’s luminous yellow?

My partner made me a bath with the sticky dates bubble bar and the sticky dates bath bomb. I was expecting it to be kinda brownish in colour but the bath water is like highlighter yellow! In photos it’s coming up the colour I expected it to be but in person it looks like I’m in someone’s dehydrated and slightly radioactive urine 🤣 it’s bizarre

chronic side sleeper wants advice on reclined sleeping

as the title states, I am a chronic side sleeper but I've seen a lot of things suggesting that sleeping in a reclined position with my head raised 6-8 inches up may help with POTS / postural tachycardia. I really struggle sleeping on my back and I was wondering if it would be worth getting one of those big pillows? What ones are best? If you have any other tips n tricks that may help please let me know!

I recently got some protein oat bars to try, I've been eating one a day and enjoyed trying a new flavour from my variety box each day... Until last night lol
I was laying down reading and as I sat up to take my evening dose of meds the room started spinning and I was overcome with INTENSE dizziness. I tried to check my BP but my monitor is terribly unreliable (I've ordered a new one that's british heart foundation approved so hopefully it's better), I checked my blood sugar - all good, HR wasnt even too bad... 5-10 mins later and my stomach is CRAMPING, BADLY. Waves of cramps, feet and hands are freezing, I'm struggling to warm up and I am nauseous ... Then the diarrhoea started and it all made sense fml

Turns out, polyols draw water into your bowel and can cause a laxative effect. My BMs had been a lil slow recently so I was also making sure I ate a good amount of fibre everyday that I was eating the oat bars too. Double whammy...

So heed my warning, people! Check the labels properly of things you're eating regularly because stuff that 'may produce laxative effect' could fast track you into dehydration!

I started feeling a bit better as soon as I got a good amount of water with electrolytes in me, I'm still not back to my baseline but good god I felt like I was going to be checking out of life last night with how messed up it made me!

Finally replaced my MacBook Pro (2011) with a Neo! It’s bloody night n day!

And just in time as my pro shut down the day after I got the Neo and the power button hasn’t worked for 3 years 🤣 most common complaint I’m seeing is the lack of a keyboard backlight… Well, my pro’s backlight hasn’t worked for 5 years so I don’t care about that lmao

I’m not a computer engineer or trying to design games or anything. Mainly needed it for general admin stuff so it’s perfect for me
